Lori gave me some time on Sunday to do some triathlon prep. I used it to bike 50K (31 miles). It felt really good, actually. I was a little worried about it. But it seems that having done a bunch of 20 mile rides over the last couple of weeks has built me up enough to handle the 31 miles without much of a problem. I did it in 1:45. Which is something I can hopefully improve on. Over the next few months I'll try and ratchet it up to 75K then 100K so that the 50K on race day won't be as much of an issue.
My goal for the few days that remain in this month is to do one 10K run. That will complete all three of the lengths that I'll be doing in the April triathlon. My idea was to do a sprint triathlon this year, and an olympic triathlon (twice that distance of the sprint) next year. But I've changed plans and I'll be doing the olympic this year since I'm in pretty good shape.
Running is my only real problem at this point. And what I have to do there is just run at least five days a week. Hopefully I'll start getting into a routine with Oso. And that will get him in shape and help my running too.
It's not just the running. It's that the running is the last of the three sections after having gone through some pretty grueling stuff already.
